Firstly, welcome to the Volley & Bayonet
Page, the Internet home of the "Volley & Bayonet: Road to Glory"
rules.
Volley & Bayonet is a miniatures
rule set that uses simple mechanics to recreate warfare in the black powder era
(1700-1890). However, while the mechanics are simple the resulting games are far from simplistic.
Rather, they create a very realistic battle from the view point of a corps or
army commander which follow the flow and give a realistic feel to miniature
battles. If you are not sure
of the basic mechanics of Volley & Bayonet make sure you have a look at this
general review.
When you have time, have a closer look at the scenarios available here for use with Volley & Bayonet. I'm sure you will be impressed with
there quality, scope and range. In addition an increasing number of battle reports are on on-line so you can see some Volley & Bayonet games in "virtual" action.

Volley & Bayonet is about fighting complete battles, so the reports here are of entire battles all fought on a single
table. Certainly different from most other rule sets which tend to focus only on
a section of a larger battle.
Above, British and French troops, using 6mm
figures on half scale bases, deploy for the battle of Waterloo. This photo
illustrates the situation prior to the start of the battle. The arrival points
of the Pruusians is some distance to the left. This game was actually part of a series fought over
a single weekend where all four battles of the Hundred Days campaign were refought using Volley & Bayonet.
Below, a photo of
Spanish troops involved in a refight of Madonna dell Olmo this time using 15mm
figures.
Now, if you are wondering what's changed on this site since you were last here, make sure you look at the
what's new section. These page are updated regularly so things could well have changed since you were last here!
